<p>There are a lot of affected countries now, some with very few cases. This action might be perceived to be biased, unless you banned every country that had a case, which covers a lot of territory.</p>

<div>Hi Bruna,</div>
<div>My only concern is that is it possible to prevent members from the affected countries to attend the meeting? </div>
<div>This is because some members will be afraid even though there may be screening at the Airports but still some people will be uncomfortable to attend the meeting. </div>

<div>Subject: [NCUC-DISCUSS] Concerns about Coronavirus (2019-nCOV) and the Cancun Meeting ?
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div dir="ltr">Dear NCUC,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You might have already seen news about the cancellation of the Mobile World Congress and some other parts of the IG community concerns with regards to the Corona Virus and upcoming events. Yesterday ICANN CEO sent us the email below asking for the community
leaders to check with their SOs and ACs whether there is any concerns with the upcoming ICANN meeting, to be held in cancun. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Therefore, I would like to ask you all how is NCUC on that matter. Do we feel like we should support the decision for ICANN to keep its plans of organizing the Cancun meeting in 5/4 weeks? Are there any travel concerns ? <br>
<br>
Highly appreciate any feedbacks you can provide as we need to send our Constituency's opinion to the CEO. <br>
<br>
best regards, </div>
<div>Bruna Santos </div>
<div>NCUC Chair <br>

members very seriously and wish to do the right thing to continue to ensure that everyone remains safe and informed. In this regard, you may have heard that some international conference organizers are, like ICANN, monitoring and evaluating the locations and
timings of their events. Earlier today, the GSM Association (GSMA) announced that it was canceling the Mobile World Congress (MWC) that had been scheduled to take place in Barcelona from 24-27 February 2020.</span></p>

As such, please let me or David Olive know if you or your group have information or concerns you would like to share. In the meantime, please refer to this blog post by ICANN org's Vice-President for Security Operations for information on how ICANN org is
